    Not in the 3.1 or 95 days if I recall correctly. That wasn’t fully unlocked until windows 98.

    Around 2002-3 Mac dropped support for floppies even on machines with a floppy drive installed.

    Which led to some pretty fun times when I needed to transfer files from a non-networked stand alone apple machine that my idiot coworker had upgraded the OS on without checking the specs.
